If you read the description, then you would know that I said I was one of the laziest people I know. This is true, but in my defense the people I know are rather athletic... and when I say rather, I mean extremely.
I have a family of marathon runners, and a slew of friends that have been doing gymnastics their entire life. Not to mention my brother works as a framer, which I assume is hard work.
So that is why when I started getting out of shape, I started noticing quick. I wasn't like morbidly obese or anything, but I did notice some pudge around my belly and that scared me good.
It was when a picture was taken at a pool; I saw my physique compared to my friends. My first impression was to point and laugh at the odd one out, but then I realized that it was me.
After being thoroughly embarrassed by my own body, I determined that I would start changing. The only thing, at work I spend all day sitting down, and then at home I'm so worn out from sitting I just want to sit and watch television.
A treadmill was my first thought, I will watch television and run on a treadmill. Unfortunately I soon realized that I neither had the room nor the money for a treadmill.
Jogging was out of the question, frankly because I didn't want to. I knew that if I started exercising I would start being more calm and lucid in my work and I would be more relaxed at home, but I didn't know where to start.
Then I found out about the rebounder, which is essentially a mini trampoline. I imagined myself doing backflips in the living room, realistically turns out, it doesn't work like that.
This was a great way for me to set up a little exercise station anywhere in my house: in the living room while listening to music, in the family room watching television, in the kitchen cooking. Ok, not the last one.
Within just a few weeks I started noticing that my body fat was melting away, that I had more energy and that I just felt better. Though to be honest, I was working a lot on this.
Well a lot for me, I would spend about one television show every other day doing rebound routines. It doesn't sound like a lot, but when you start doing it through a show you will start to think that one program lasts for an eternity.
Now when I see pictures of myself I hardly ever laugh. I would say that these are a realistic way for everyone and anyone to get in shape. Destry Masterson is a health, fitness and nutrition expert.
